This might confuse you more than help... but it is meant to be helpful. Look at iBatis.com PetStore 3.
I use a iBatis DB layer as DAO to pgSQL for a DAO layer.
And NO Struts does not specify or endorse a certain way to access data. A formBean maps to a (JSP/HTML) form, and is data agnostic. This way people can chose.
(pgSQL rocks!!! Free run time on windows and unix, stored procedure support, ANSI SQL, faster than Oracle/MS SQL)

I am totally new to J2EE/EJB and Struts - so perhaps this is the wrong
place to ask. In this case I would like to know where I should ask my
question or what I should've read before again asking silly questions.

I have to use a Sun One Application Server and a PostGreSQL database for
a project. And I am sure that I want to use Struts because of the whole
MVC thing. I would like to know how I should access data in a
appropriate way. I think I want to use CMP and I am wondering where or
how I should address the database. Do I have to create a JDBC ressource
on the Sun One Application Server or do I have to define a datasource
using Struts DataSource manager?
I thought of something like:
------ Controller ------------ Actions
| (ActionServlet) |
| | |
Client ---- | |
| | |
| | |
------ View (JSPs) - - - - - - Model (Beans) ------ PostGreSQL
DB
And on the Model part of this simple ascii art I think it would be nice
to have something like:
Action ---
|
--- business logic bean ---
(use a facade?) |
--- data representaion (entity beans)
Is this approach okay? Back to my question stated above: How do I get
the entity beans "connected" to the database? Is struts independent of
this question? Should I try to do this by reading Sun's AppServer
documentation? ;)
Thanks in regards,
Steffen Gransow
